        PPS: Also, no need to disable sound, as it uses Null audio drier. So, guests will see the audio card, but the sound will be not output. It should not affect the performance.

Well, that is clearly WRONG. When I enable sound, the performance is definitely much slower than without it.


You seem to be wrong here. I doubt that enabling sound could eat up significant resources.

All I remember, is that I was (pleasantly) surprised by how much difference it made, when I turned off sound.

I will do more experimenting later. I had to swap out the hard disk in my test machine, and that project is almost finished. I will have to re-install VBox 5.0.6, and get WinXP back into it.
